Babe, what are you doing?

I'm looking for the aloe iodine.

It's not here.

Yeah, because that's
not where it is.

Babe, c-can you
give me 12 seconds,

and I will come
and get it for you?

Twelve seconds is specific.

Wow, these are very expired.

Hmm.

Okay. Betadine. Chlorhexidine.

No iodine.

Oh. Right. Thanks.

But...

Well, that's not...

We tried for two years.

I know. I know, babe.

I mean, we don't wanna
even talk about it anymore.

Talking was not
the important part.

It wasn't gonna be for us,
and we were okay with that.

-We were okay, but...
-Mm-hmm.

Well...

This is better.

Yes. It's...

-It's a lot better, isn't it?
-This is great.

Obviously, we're
gonna need protocols

to account for our
cell mutations...

No, Reed.

...monitoring for
further cosmic effects.

Reed.

We can do this.

Okay?

I really want to do this.

I really want to do this.

Then what?

Nothing is going to change.

Of course not.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we welcome you to a
very special event

celebrating four years
of the Fantastic Four.

And now your host for
the evening, Ted Gilbert.

Well, now, folks.

Folks, we all know the story.

Four brave astronauts
head up into space,

encounter a bit of
cosmic turbulence,

and come back forever changed.

Not just the molecules
of their bodies

but also their
place in our hearts.

And, now, a look back.

This is Excelsior
Launch Control.

T-minus 3 hours, 42
minutes, 19 seconds.

Four years ago,

man and woman conquered the
last frontier as we know it,

the exploration of space.

The best pilot in
the world right here.

Yeah. The best-looking he means.

It was my mission:
Space exploration.

I assembled the best
scientific minds

to come along,

who also happened to
be my best friend,

my wife

and my brother-in-law.

Comms check.
Everybody, sound off.

-Check.
-Check, check.

-Check.
-Comms are live.

That last voice you just heard

was my baby brother,
Jonathan Storm,

and, ladies, he
is very single.

-Kiss for luck.
-Kiss?

However, Dr. Richards's
expedition

encountered an unforeseen event

that changed not only the lives

of these courageous
individuals...

Verify go for launch.

Go for launch.

...but also the
course of our history.

-Come in, Excelsior.
-What is that?

I don't know. I don't know.

It must be the cosmic rays.

-Ben! Ben!
-Ben!

Obviously, while
we were in space

due to errors on my part...

-Stop.
-...we encountered

a cosmic storm that
altered our DNA.

Rescue in progress of
the Excelsior launch.

We came back with anomalies.

And they returned
with superpowers.

They became our protectors.

Cannonball!

It's clobberin' time!

Hmm.

I was at the opening
of the Pan Am Tower

when Mole Man attacked.

The Fantastic Four
saved my life.

Mole Man's attempt to
steal the Pan Am building

was thwarted by
the Fantastic Four.

This is all Reed
Richards's fault.

Him and his endless
pursuit of progress.

Power to the underground!

And when the Mad Thinker

tried to sabotage New York City

the Fantastic Four
came to our rescue.

Gotcha!

Have a great day!

They defeated Red Ghost

and his Super-Apes.

They became our inspiration.

This equation not only
confirms alternate dimensions,

but it suggests parallel Earths

exist on different
dimensional planes.

Who wants to see
a big explosion?

Me!

And they became our leaders.

Sue Storm brokers peace deal

with Harvey "Mole Man" Elder,

leader of the underground
nation, Subterranea.

I don't trust
surface dwellers.

I never have.

But I do trust Sue.

We have come together today
to form a new charter,

the Future Foundation.

All participating
countries agree

to dismantle their armed forces.

And on this fourth
anniversary,

we celebrate them.

They are the very best of us.

They are the Fantastic Four.

Thank you, Fantastic Four!

Thank you, Fantastic Four!

-Thank you, Fantastic Four!
-We love you, Fantastic Four.

-I love you, Johnny!
-We love you!

-Thank you, Fantastic Four.
-Thank you, Fantastic Four.

We are proud to call
them our guides,

our protectors and our friends.

Let's hear it for Reed,
Sue, Johnny and Ben.

I must say, that was
all a bit aggrandizing.

-Yeah.
-H.E.R.B.I.E.

H.E.R.B.I.E. with the herbs.

How's that sauce looking?

Don't do that. Wash your
hands first, please.

I was wearing my
gloves the whole time.

Just wash your hands.
Let me try that.

Okay.

Okay. Is this guy good?

That is fantastic.

-Oh, let me try.
-It's incredible stuff.

Stop. Don't do that.

Don't do that. It's
not quite done.

No, it's not quite done.

No, it could be done,

but I'm gonna add a
little more garlic.

Not because it's not delicious.

I just want to add a
little bit of zip, okay?

What are you doing?

What do you mean,
what am I doing?

I mean, you're gonna
ruin your appetite.

I'm hungry.

They're never late
for Sunday dinner.

Should we wait?

I guess.

You're late.

What, uh... What do you mean?

What do you mean,
what do I mean?

You're late for dinner.

Oh. Yes, we are.
We're late for dinner.

-By a single minute.
-Yes, we were just...

I had to put some aloe
iodine on my shoulder and...

...just had to do
his shoulder and...

Why is there breakfast
cereal on the dinner table?

Why are you being weird?

-We're not being weird.
-We're not acting weird.

You're doing that weird
thing with your face.

Well, we don't know what
you're talking about.

Are you pregnant?

-Yeah, we're pregnant.
-Yes, yes.

How did you know that?

Have you looked at
your husband's face?

I know. He just
cannot keep a secret.

-Wait, what? Really?
-Yeah.

What?

You are gonna be the
best mom. Oh, my God.

And you are gonna
be the best dad.

Just kidding. You are
out of your depth.

But we... we're gonna
be the best uncles ever.

Okay, we should eat.

You're handling
this well, you know.

I figured you'd be
locked in your lab

drenched in a panic sweat.

I have that scheduled for later.

Countdown continues

as the Fantastic Four
prepare to welcome

a new member to the family.

Needless to say, preparations
inside the Baxter Building

are well underway.

All right, H.E.R.B.I.E.,
let's start the baby prep.

H.E.R.B.I.E.!

Yancy Street bookies

are putting the odds
of a girl at 4-to-5,

but chances of twins
are a long shot.

Herbert!

H.E.R.B.I.E.!

The oil and gas cowboys

want a minute to yell at you

before you go on
maternity leave.

Speaking of, coal lobby.

Lynne, when you see Sue, can...

Larry, I will tell
her when I see her.

Thank you, Lynne.

The question on
everybody's mind is,

"Will the baby be born
with superpowers?"

H.E.R.B.I.E., we need
to scan the baby.

The Interna-Scan hasn't achieved

the right level of
precession for clear imaging.

New deep space transmission?

Let's identify its origin.

Shall we record and file it?

Mm-hmm.

2:15? What 2:15? I don't
have any meetings today.

Ah, Reed.

Oh, that 2:15.

Thank you for making the time.

Johnny, do we have to today?

I had some thoughts on
the new suit design.

There are no new suit designs.

You finished them years
ago. They have dust on them.

I get it. You're going
to be a father soon.

New responsibilities.

-You're a bit scared.
-I'm not scared.

I'm busy, Johnny.

I'm busy. I'm busy.

There's a difference.

New transmission today.

Have you listened to it yet?

More of the same.
It's a complex signal.

Knock yourself out.

Johnny, I'm running a test.

Cool.

I got time.

Bridge teleportation test.

Movement of organic
matter, six meters.

Thank you, Herbert.

Let's run it.

It worked.

-Johnny.
-Yep.

Could you reset the breaker?

Other way.

Babe?

Babe, when you're
done, can you...

Hello, H.E.R.B.I.E.

I, um... I just
went by the nursery.

How's it looking?

Um, it's looking like

H.E.R.B.I.E.'s
building the crib.

Which I kinda thought
was a you deal.

I built this instead.

Anyone can build a crib.
Only I can build this.

Anyone can build a crib but
not-not ours. Not for him.

This is for him.

Because unlike anyone else,

his parents have
cosmically compromised DNA.

Reed. Reed, we have
done every test.

Well, not this one.

You wanna see?

Fine. Let's see.

See? There's nothing
wrong with him.

He's absolutely perfect.

That is such a bullshit
way to win an argument.

-Happy Halloween.
-Happy Halloween.

Easy with the candy.

-Hi, Ben.
-Hi, Heather.

-Hey, Ben. How's Sue doing?
-Yeah, she's getting close.

She was craving some
Maisie's cookies.

Hey! What time is
it? Say the thing.

That's not really
something I say.

It's clobberin' time!

It's just in the
cartoon. Sorry, sir.

Oh, my God. There he is!

-Whoa, that's him!
-Hey! Lift the car!

You want me to lift up a
car? This car? Right here?

You guys are gonna
get me in trouble.

-Lift the car!
-I... I'll... I'll try.

Lift the car!

Can't do it.

-Come on, you can do it!
-I'll try one more time.

Lift the car! Lift the car!

Lift the car! Lift the...

Throw the car! Yeah, throw it!

-Throw the car?
-Yeah, throw the car.

Okay, everyone. Settle
down. Back to your game.

Hey, maybe throw it next
time. That'll show 'em.

No, no, no. It's
okay. I love kids.

Spend the day with
ten fourth-grade girls

and you may begin
to rethink that.

Rachel Rozman. Uh...

-I'm Ben.
-I know.

You grew up near on Yancy, yeah?

Right there.

Oh. Very near.

You know, it feels really
good being back here.

I like that everything
stays the same.

Like Maisie's? The best.

The black-and-white cookies were always
my favorite when I was a kid, but...

we used to steal 'em back then.

Okay. Well, maybe
step inside next time.

Kids would love to see ya.

Yeah. Okay. I will.
I'll bring cookies.

Oh, yeah? Okay.

Yeah, I'll bring cookies.

All right.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

It doesn't matter
how long you beat it.

You're not gonna make a
meringue if there's egg yolks.

The real question is, do
you add some vinegar or not?

I'm a vinegar guy.
Always have been.

Hey. Why the long face?

What of it?

Sounds like your 2:15
with Reed didn't go well.

I'm sorry, pal.

Hey, I'm fine, you know? I
don't mind. It's just, uh...

I hear ya. We'll
go to space again.

Yeah, we will.

Oh. Nice.

I'm Johnny Storm. Flame on.

Flame on. Flame on. Flame...

Flame off.

Down.

Fantastic Kitchen, down.

-Whoops.
-Stop it.

I finished the crib.

Included two extras.
I don't know why.

Mmm. Thank you.

-Go time.
-No, it's okay.

This... This is me.

For the last few months,
I've been tracking

a small number of
criminal organizations.

A small number, huh?

Forty-seven of them,

including the Puppet
Master in the Bowery,

the Wizard in Gramercy Park

and Diablo in
Washington Heights.

You baby proofed the world.

-It's a sweet gesture.
-It's a thorough gesture.

But, uh, I like punching.

-You mean "clobbering"?
-No, I mean "punching."

-Let's eat.
-Hey, what time is it?

It's dinnertime. Get inside.

You sure it's not
clobbering time?

Stop it.

-Johnny.
-On it.

What the hell?

Would you look at that?

Stand clear. I need
everybody to remain calm

and clear the area.

-Stay back. Out of the way.
-Get back.

Out of the way. Get back.

Breaking news
from Times Square.

There appears to be
an object in the sky,

debris raining down
and some sort...

Are you the protectors
of this world?

Yes, we are.

Your planet is now
marked for death.

Your world will be
consumed by The Devourer.

There is nothing you
can do to stop him.

For he is a universal force.

As essential as the stars.

Hold your loved ones close,

and speak the words you've
been afraid to speak.

Use this time to
rejoice and celebrate,

for your time is short.

I herald his beginning.

I herald your end.

I herald...

Galactus.

Whoa!

Scientists around
the world are trying

to verify the origin of this
unknown space creature...

Are you tracking her?

She is too fast
to track, Johnny.

She is too fast,

but I'm tracking
where she's been.

What's a Galactus? Right?

And how do you consume
a whole planet?

Here. DA-773, a planet in
the Proxima Delphi system.

-He ate that whole planet?
-Five planets, actually.

Five have disappeared,
that I'm aware of.

There might be more
that fit the pattern.

And the pattern is what?

That they've been
chosen with great care.

Targeted.

And not just disappeared.

Destroyed.

Wait, you're saying that
these planets disappearing,

-that's connected to her?
-Yes.

I've identified the
herald's energy signature

and matched it to DA-773.

She was there.

She was at all of them.

So you're saying
this Galactus...

Can do exactly what
she says it can do.

How long to get
Excelsior launch-ready?

Either we go up there
or Galactus comes here.

I don't know, 20 hours.

The launch window is in 16.

-Guys... Hey, guys.
-Like I said, 16 hours.

I'll start the nav plot.

Hey, guys...

H, you wanna buzz the prep team

and I'll meet you down there?

Uh, she spoke to me. The
herald. She spoke to me.

She spoke to all of us, Johnny.

Galactus, devouring...

Well, when I chased her,

she spoke to me in her language.

What did she say?

Well, it was in her own
language. I don't know.

Well, what were
the context clues?

Context. Space.

And what was the tone?

Angry? Threatening?

No, no, no. Not at
all. It was, uh...

...kind.

Kind?

Not kind. Warm.

-Warm?
-I don't know. It was...

-She was, like, right here.
-Mm-hmm.

And I was looking into
her beautiful face,

and I saw stars,

and I could see me in her face.

She spoke to me, and
it was kind of, um...

Warm?

Kind. Kind?

No. No. I get it.

Johnny loves space.
Johnny loves women.

Now there's a literal
naked space woman,

and Johnny thinks
they had a moment.

I doubt she was naked.

It was probably a
stellar polymer.

For the record, Ben loves when
Johnny speaks in third person.

We need to get ready.

Okay. So she spoke
to you, yeah? And?

There are 23 of these.

The only repeated language
and the oldest recordings.

Now, I don't know who they
are or what they're saying,

but this...

this is the same.

This is her language.

Okay. Maybe that is something.

Reed wants to see
you in the lab.

You summoned me.

I finally knocked
it off the list.

What?

The new space suits.

It's flame-retardant.

Maxed out oxygen supply, but...

You have to monitor the gauge.

If you stay flamed on
in zero atmosphere,

you will burn through your air
reserves in less than ten minutes.

Oh.

I take back every
single bad thing

I've been saying about you.

To myself.

In private.

Four years ago,

we were dreamers.

Back then, the unknown
meant adventure,

and mystery, and discovery.

With space, the
greatest mystery of all.

The last occasion
led to the accident

that mutated them and
gave them those fan...

What we learned

was that the unknown
also meant fear.

And profound, radical change.

Hiya, pal.

Johnny showed me the new suit.

It's pretty spiffy, especially
compared to the old ones.

Well, the old ones...

weren't adequate.

Eh, who could've known?

Me.

-I could've known.
-Stop.

Please. You gotta stop beating
yourself up about this.

You know, Stretch, I
got bad news for you.

You ain't that smart.

Except I am that smart.

Oh, yeah? Can you cook?

It's more of an
art, not a science.

Did you pass your driver's test?

That was due to
poorly marked signage.

Huh.

This Galactus, this herald,

they got no idea what
they're up against.

So the four of us
will return to space

and face the danger
waiting there,

and we will find this Galactus.

The second the engines fire,

everything you do from then on

will be the first
time a pregnant woman

has done them in the
history of the world.

I know.

I really do.

And just because I'm
not talking about it

doesn't mean I'm not
thinking about it.

About him.

I really love my new suit.

It's really your old one,
it's just a lot bigger.

Bluer.

It is actually bluer.

Just a little extra
around the sides is all.

This is Excelsior
Launch Control.

T-minus two hours, 37
minutes, 20 seconds.

Here we stand prepared

to face a danger
that is unknown.

A danger that has
threatened our home,

threatened our families

and threatened this planet.

The unknown will become known,

and we will protect you.

We will protect you.

Final check and check, please.

-Check.
-Check.

Check.

Twelve, eleven,

ten, nine, eight, seven...

Starting ignition sequence.

...six, five, four, three...

Go for launch.

...two, one.

The Excelsior has liftoff.

Whoo-hoo!

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have a successful launch.

And from all of us on Earth,

we wish you good luck.

And Godspeed.

Thank you, Earth.

You seeing that?

Approaching the FTL engine.

Wait for my signal, Sue.

Yeah.

And three, two, one. Mark.

And we are locked.

And clear for FTL navigation.

Faster-than-light
in three, two, one.

So the herald's energy
signature tracks

to this binary system here.

LHS-275, yes.

Where we find her,
we find Galactus.

Reed, what are we
up against here?

Some sort of a space
dragon or something?

-Cool.
-We don't know.

But it's basic tactical science.

Observe, assess capabilities,
have H.E.R.B.I.E. collect

any liquid, gas...

...solid materials,

analyze his physiology.

Look, if he's just
some big guy in a ship,

then yes, you can punch him out.

Coming in on the dark side of
the system's larger planet.

Copy that. I'm gonna
take us out of FTL.

Okay, everyone. Be prepared.

So, where's this Galactus?

That's strange.

The herald's heat signature is
coming from inside the planet.

What the hell is
happening to that planet?

Is there something
alive down there?

What is that?

-Ben!
-I'm on it!

Dropping us out of FTL.

Watch out!

Sue, hide us!

It's all gone. The whole planet.

And it was 13%
larger than Earth.

-Ben!
-It's not responding.

I'm locked out.

H.E.R.B.I.E., try to
stabilize the engines.

What's going on?

It's got us. It's pulling us in.

Ben, save the engines.

Save the engine!

Johnny...

your girlfriend's back.

Hi.

Galactus will see you.

-I'll go.
-All of you.

You should not have come.

Follow.

Scan everything and
collect samples.

What does Galactus want?

He doesn't want. He feeds.

How does he choose which
planets to consume?

He does not.

You choose.

Yes.

Uh, Johnny. What
are you doing?

I'm gonna charm her.

So what did you say to me?

When you threw me
off your board?

What did you say?

It's a blessing.

It means, "Die with yours."

"Die with yours."

Last question.

So the surfboard, right?

Is that part of your
body? Or is that...

So she dumped you already?

No. It went well.

You stand before Galactus.

The Devourer of
Worlds honors you.

We are honored.

I was once little like you.

Billions of years ago.

A man from another world

before this relentless,
eternal hunger.

You have traveled far.

Yes.

To beg for mercy.

To talk.

You carry the power
to save your world.

Yes. I believe we do.

Inside her.

The child.

-What the hell?
-What...

He hungers.

What does that mean?

I will spare your world.

In exchange for the boy.

What? No.

He possesses the Power Cosmic,

and he will inherit
this cursed throne.

It's not true.
He's... He's normal.

We would know. I would
know. I tested the child.

-He hides his nature from you.
-No.

What are you doing to her?

Baby's coming.
The baby's coming.

-Now?
-Yeah.

You will not have our planet.

And you will never have our son!

I will eat your planet slowly

while your child watches.

No you don't!

I'm coming, buddy!

Go, go, go, go!

H.E.R.B.I.E., prep all
systems for immediate launch.

No!

No!

Surfboard, not
part of the body.

Come on.

H.E.R.B.I.E.!

Come on.

Get us out of here, Ben!

Hang in there, Suze,
I'll get you home.

Get us to the FTL!

FTL in visual range.

-Babe.
-I'm here, Sue. I'm here.

Surfer on our six.

Attach then jump.

-And go where?
-Anywhere! Just jump!

H.E.R.B.I.E., I'm
gonna need your help

stabilizing this thing.

Hold on!

Ben!

We lost her. All clear.

She's still on us.

Johnny, kill her.

-Really?
-Yeah.

She wants to take your nephew.

-Kill her!
-All right. All right.

Just when I finally met
someone interesting.

It's bending the beam!

The wormhole is
bending the beam!

Reed, I can't get
a lock on her!

All right. Figure
it out. Come on.

Reed, what's the plan?

Johnny, quit screwing around.

Do I tell you how
to drive the ship?

Don't tell me how
to kill sexy aliens!

Stop calling her sexy.

-Oh!
-Yes! Yes!

-Yes!
-Yes!

She's back!

-Reed, I can't shake her.
-Working on it!

-She's slippery!
-Reed!

Drop us out of FTL here.

That's a pretty
big neutron star.

I know. We're gonna use it.

Isn't that basically
a black hole?

Won't that kill us?

Taking us out.

What's the plan?

Draw her close
enough to the star,

she'll get stuck in
the gravity well.

There'll be a time dilation.

-How much of a dilation?
-Is it more than mine?

It'll take her a
month to break free.

Take us in, Ben.

Reed, we could get sucked in.

Ben, trust me.

Hang on.

Come on.

It's chewing us up!

Get closer.

It's chewing us up!

A little closer!

Come on, Reed.
What are we doing?

Sue, we need 30 seconds of
invisibility. Can you do it?

After your next contraction.

-Yes!
-Hell, yeah!

You all right, Sue?

We need to strap you down.

-Strapping her down.
-Do not strap me down!

Not strapping her down.

Baby...

-What?
-...you need gravity to push.

This is not right.

It's not how it's
supposed to be.

I know, I know.

But we're gonna make it work.

You're doing wonderful, my love.

We don't have enough
juice to get home.

Oh, no.

No, we do not.

I could slingshot
around the star,

draft off its orbital momentum.

We need to get to
.88 speed of light.

Reed!

-Johnny, the velocity gauge.
-Reed!

On it.

-Oh, don't... don't go.
-I'm here.

-I'm not going anywhere.
-Don't go.

I'm right here.

Beginning slingshot. Here we go.

Coming up on .82.

On your mark, Johnny.

Why... Why do they
wanna take him?

Something is wrong with him.

There's nothing wrong with him.

-You don't know that.
-Yes, I do. I do know.

No, you don't. You
know everything,

but you don't know that.

-What if he's a monster?
-He's not a monster.

-Everything's gonna change.
-Nothing is gonna change.

-Everything's gonna change.
-I promise you.

-I promise.
-You can't promise that.

-I promise.
-You can't promise that.

-Reed...
-Okay.

He's coming. He's coming.

Give me your hand.

.84. Ben!

Come on!

-Sue? Push.
-No.

-Yes, you can.
-.85.

-Ready?
-Okay.

One, two, three, push!

-Come on!
-.86!

Push. Push. That's good.

.87.

-Mark!
-Ben!

H.E.R.B.I.E.

Ben, help!

Thrusters engaged.

H.E.R.B.I.E., get ready!

Hold on, everyone.

I got you, little guy.

Franklin.

There! There! Come on. I see it!

Wow!

After a month
long return trip,

the Fantastic Four
are finally home

and receiving a warm welcome.

Oh, my God. Unbelievable.

-Lynne, we're going to need...
-Come this way.

-Reed! Reed!
-Move back!

Dr. Richards, over
here! Can we get a word?

Stand back. Make a path.

Sue! Sue!

They're ready
for you. Step up.

Just keep it brief.

I'm sorry. We don't have
a prepared statement.

One at a time,
please. One at a time.

Connor.

Welcome back.

Could you take us through
how you defeated Galactus?

How we de...

We didn't.

Not yet. Not yet, we didn't.

What does that mean?

Uh, follow up!

What do you mean, you didn't?

We attempted to
negotiate, but Galactus...

He asked too high a price.

-Well, what does he want?
-What did he ask?

He asked for our child.

What?

He said, "Give us your child",

"and I will spare the earth."

We said no,
obviously. We said no.

We're gonna... We're
gonna circle back

with a more detailed
statement...

-You said no?
-What does that mean for us?

Could giving Galactus
the child save us?

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Hang on... You can't just...

Just answer this. Answer this.

Are we safe?

Are we safe?

I don't know.

What do you mean,
you don't know?

You don't know?

What do you mean you don't know?

What do you mean you don't know?

I'm sorry. I've failed you.

I need the child.

I must get the child.

But he's just a baby.

He is a being of infinite power.

One strong enough
to absorb my hunger

so that I may finally rest.

How much time do we even have?

What do we do
when he gets here?

What about the ship? We
blast it. Problem solved.

You can't blast it.

Conventional weapons won't work.

-So, we run.
-We run?

Draw him away from Earth.
We're faster than him, right?

-Not faster than the herald.
-We've got a head start.

Yeah, but that's all we got.

And then he could still
eat the Earth anyways.

Reed?

You wanna take us
through what you have?

-What I have?
-Yeah.

What I have is nothing.

Nothing. Did you say nothing?

I analyzed the samples
H.E.R.B.I.E. took

from Galactus's ship.

All evidence suggests he predates
our universe, our reality.

It could take ten years to
understand his composition,

let alone his existence.

You're talking about a god?

I'm talking about something
beyond our experience.

An unknowable life.

Who imagines Franklin
as his successor

and possessing some
kind of cosmic power.

That can't be true.

You ran all those tests. Right?

I have, but I don't know
what can or cannot be.

I'm not sure how long. I'm
not sure of anything. I...

I have nothing. I...

I have nothing.

If we could solve something,

any link in the chain...

E is the effort force,

R is the lever arm
connected to the effort.

I is the load,

r is the lever arm
connected to the load.

Archimedes. The Law of Levers.

"Give me a lever
and a place to stand

and I will move the earth."

We need a lever.

You... You wanna translate that?

Yeah, we solve the
right small problem,

we solve the big Galactus one.

Yes. Yes.

All right, boys, let's
go look for levers.

Yep.

You know, you're
supposed to sleep

when the baby sleeps.

I've been, uh, you
know, reading the books.

He thinks the baby
actually sleeps.

I gotta show you something.

What do you wanna show me?

-It's really good.
-I barely slept last night.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's not like you
chose this whole thing.

Being a mother, you know?

Sit down. Good. I gotta
show you. Just trust me.

Okay. All right.

Johnny, it smells.

It's pheromones.
Relax. All right.

Racking back the helmet cam.

It's a blessing.

It means, "Die with yours."

I told you I'd
heard that before.

Now we have a
sentence translated,

and we can use that to figure
out what all of this means.

I mean, Reed could build
an algorithm, and then...

His big brain is busy.
I'm all over this.

A Rosetta stone to find
him an Archimedes lever.

See?

I can reference old stuff too.

Right. There you go. Good boy.

Fantastic Four has verified

that an unknown spacecraft
believed to be Galactus

has just passed Jupiter.

Financial institutions
remain closed

as angry protestors take to...

The newly formed
Galactus cult intends

to summit Mount Everest.

Tempers boiled over in
Central London today,

breaking out in violence
as the whole world wonders,

"What is to be our fate?"

Hey, what about us?

We got families too.

Guys, it's getting
bad out there.

It seems to me they have
no plan for Galactus.

We, as a society, have
to reckon with the idea

that the Fantastic Four
could save us today,

-but they choose not to?
-No.

The idea is simple.

Reed Richards and Sue
Storm hand over their baby,

and we all live.

One life...

Where are you?

Get down from your high tower.

You're supposed to protect us.

Give up the baby!

-They're scared.
-Who isn't scared?

That is scary.

Why? They can't hurt us.

Well, it's scary
because they hate us.

They think they might die,
and they hate us for it.

And they hate Franklin.

And they may be right

because right now, we
don't have a workable plan.

The clock is ticking.

So their plan looks good.

It's mathematical, it's ethical

and it's available.

What are you saying?

I'm not saying anything.

Oh, sweetheart. It's
all right, buddy.

All right.

You know, Ben's wrong.

There's always people
that can hurt you.

Sue, please hear me.

I would never give
him up to Galactus.

I would never do that.

"Mathematical?
Ethical? Available?"

It was just so easy
for you to say that.

It means nothing.

It means I know you. I
know how your brain works.

It means you've
thought about it.

It means you've rolled
it around in your head,

and you worked the problem.

Which means nothing.

It is my job to
think terrible things

so that terrible
things don't happen.

It's not your job, Reed.

That's you.

Okay. You're right, it is me.

I don't dream. I don't wonder.

I invite the worst
possible thing into my head

to figure out how to hurt them
before they hurt anybody else.

And you know what? Sometimes

Sometimes, you
being you hurts me.

Well, I don't mean to.

I know. I know.

I know.

Listen, I am going
to solve this.

I'm gonna make it right.

Hmm.

We don't know what he is
or what he might become

but I am not giving him up.

You're selfish.

How can you bring
him out here?

I wanted to introduce
you to someone.

This is our son, Franklin.

There's been a lot
of talk about him.

Um...

Most of you know me.
You know my story.

When Johnny and I were kids,
our parents were in a car crash.

Our dad was driving
and he lived,

but our mom didn't.

I know what it's like to be part
of a family that was torn apart.

Our dad, he wasn't always a great
father, but he wanted to be.

He did his best.

He wanted us to be together
because that's what family is.

It's about fighting for
something bigger than yourself.

It's about connecting to
something bigger than yourself.

It's about having something
bigger than yourself.

And the four of us...

the four of us already
do because we have you.

You know, our mom
always used to say,

"Suzie, for you, I would
move heaven and earth."

And we would do that for you.

I will not sacrifice my
child for this world.

But I will not sacrifice
this world for my child.

We will face this together.

We will fight this together.

And we will defeat
this together.

As a family.

Mmm.

"As a family."

Archimedes.

The Law of Levers.

"Give me a lever and a place to
stand and I will move the earth."

We are going to move
heaven and earth.

Well, just earth.

Sue?

You solved it.

I did?

Yes. We are going to move Earth

to a place that Galactus
will never find us.

How?

Well, we already have the lever.

The bridge.

The bridge is a prototype.

You moved an egg
across the room.

You think you can do
that with a planet?

We are out of options.

We have to make it work.
We will make it work.

Heaven and earth.

We interrupt this program

with a special report.

And now an announcement
from Reed Richards.

As you're about to see, we've
solved the physics of teleportation.

H.E.R.B.I.E.

The difference between a planet
and an egg is only scale.

Starting immediately,

we will create teleportation
bridges spanning the globe.

They will be synchronized
and interconnected,

capable of transporting our
planet to a new solar system

within a 2% margin of
the inhabitable zone.

But more importantly,
away from Galactus

where he won't be able to
find us for millions of years.

Time is not on our side.

I'm reaching out to the world
with a list of materials

that we need in bulk.

Plutonium-239.

Plutonium...

All right, people.

Like my old man used to say,

"If you don't know what
to do, pick up a shovel."

Fire it up. We got bridges
to build. Let's go.

The last 36 hours has seen
an historical mobilization

of every country
working together,

in a way the world
has never seen before.

With Galactus's ship

deep within our solar system

and the Fantastic Four's
Hail Mary in the balance,

we are calling on
every helping hand.

If you can do something well,

now you can do it
for your planet.

We are getting reports that
Galactus has passed Mars.

H.E.R.B.I.E., record.

It takes too much power.

I only got this to work
by tripling my intake,

which drained the New York
City grid in two seconds.

To do this, there isn't
enough power in the world.

I'd have to turn off every
light switch on the planet.

For how long?

Factoring in we gotta
keep building bridges,

how long would we need
to conserve power?

Sacrifices will be made.

We all need to conserve power at
a scale never attempted before.

Quite right, H.E.R.B.I.E.

All the power.

The worldwide energy
curfew only works

if everybody does their part
to conserve electricity.

Ooh, missed a spot.

Yeah, curfew fried it.

Now I look like an idiot.

Beard could be cool.

Seriously?

I built this to see
what you looked like.

You see,

most fathers want their sons
to look exactly like them,

inside and out.

But...

I don't want you to be like me.

There's something wrong
with me, always has been.

The more I look at you,

the less I know.

And the less I know,
the more scared I am.

So you know what? I'm
not gonna look anymore.

I'm gonna let you
tell me who you are.

And if you'd like to tell me
now, that would be helpful,

especially if you're an
all-powerful space god.

I'd like to know that sooner rather
than later, if you don't mind.

Hmm.

Oh, no.

You're busy peeing.

You're a very good boy.

Thanks, buddy.

This is going to work.

It has to.

Yes! Yes!

Uh... Oh.

Yep, coming. Coming,
coming, coming.

Guys, I am onto something.

Moving a planet here, Johnny.

Yeah, Johnny. It's
four. Fantastic Four.

Let's move a planet.

-Cool beard.
-You mean that? Thank you.

Copy, Delhi.

Let's do this.

London, stand by.

Yes, copy, London.

Copy, Paris.

-Lima, do you copy?
-Copy, Rome.

-Copy, Delhi.
-Copy, Vienna.

Copy, Prague.

Chicago, stand by.

Copy, Chicago.

Earth go for countdown.

Here we go, folks.

Go.

20, 19...

18, 17, 16...

15, 14, 13...

12...

11...

10, 9, 8...

7, 6...

-What is that?
-What's happening?

-She's going for this bridge.
-No.

She's coming for Franklin.

-Oh, my God.
-Lock the building down!

Wait. Where's Johnny?

-Shalla-Bal.
-Shalla-Bal.

Shalla-Bal!

You understand these messages…

You know my language?

I've learned about you.

Shalla-Bal.

How do you know that name?

And how did you get these?

Die with yours.

How?

He barely has a grasp
of the English language.

Twenty-three transmissions,

all in your language,

trace back to the
planet Zenn-La.

Your home.

They were looking for
you, to thank you.

Once I translated one phrase,

I pieced together
enough language

to understand a part
of your history.

You were some sort of
scientist or astronomer.

When Galactus came, you
offered to serve as his scout

if he'd spare your planet.

Was it to spare your family?

He turned you into this.

Shalla-Bal.

Those were messages from the
one planet Galactus spared.

Your planet.

These planets weren't so lucky.

How many do you
remember, Shalla-Bal?

Proxima Delphi. Saigas.

Do you remember Polaris?

They begged for mercy.

You brought Galactus to
all of these planets.

And now you're
bringing him here,

to my home, to my family!

Just trying to save
my world, you know,

like you did.

So give up the child.

If he was older, he
would do it himself.

Like I did.

So take me.

Take me.

Not the boy.

Let me make the sacrifice.

It's not yours to make.

Then stay and help us.

There is no help.

Take the child and
leave this doomed place.

Maybe you'll live long
enough to forgive yourselves.

-Johnny, that was incredible.
-I mean, does it even matter?

You saved Franklin.

Yes, it matters.

Reed?

We're not leaving, are we?

No. No, we're not.

We're not leaving.

Um... Uh, yeah. Same here.

You gotta give us
a second. Um...

Yeah, this is Johnny
Storm. Can you hear me?

The line's too busy.

-I'm sorry, okay?
-This is London.

-This is London. Do you copy?
-Hold, London.

What's going on?

Hold, Paris. Paris, hold.

The line's not very clear.

-Can you say that again?
-Hold the line.

Chicago, yes, we're onto it.

We're just, uh... We're
fixing the problem.

We're trying to get, uh...

We're trying to
get on top of this.

-Sydney, stand by.
-Yep. Got it.

-Tokyo, stand by.
-Hold. Hold.

We have to bring him here.

-We are aware.
-Yes, I understand.

-Can you stand by?
-We are aware.

-I'll update you.
-Yeah. Yeah.

We need to bring
Galactus here.

I will come back to you. Hold.

-Call you back.
-Hold up.

Reed?

We need Galactus to come here?

I feel like we just spent a lot of time
trying to prevent that from happening.

Listen to me. We need to
get him away from his ship.

We need to bring him
here, to Times Square.

And then what?

And then, instead of moving
a planet away from one giant,

we move one giant
away from the planet.

If we route every power grid
on the Eastern Seaboard,

through our one last
bridge, charge back up,

we can keep the
portal open for...

Thirty-seven seconds.

Thirty... Not a lot of time

to throw a space
god off a planet.

-No, it is not.
-And where do we send him?

To the far edges
of the universe.

Without a ship,
he'll be stranded.

How are we supposed to get
Galactus to Times Square?

And how do we move one giant
through one large bridge?

I haven't figured
that part out yet.

You have.

Have what?

We have to use the only
thing Galactus wants.

No. I'll think of another way.

-What are you talking about?
-You can't.

You can't think of another way.

-I will.
-There is only one way.

What are you talking about?

We have to use Franklin.

Yes.

You wanna use the boy?

You wanna use the boy as bait.

-No.
-That's your plan?

No, it's not my
plan. It's our plan.

It's the only plan.

It's not my plan.
I hate that plan.

-It's a bad plan. Stupid plan.
-Terrible idea.

Why don't I just burn through
his ship? That's another plan.

He's your kid we're
talking about.

Sue.

-I know.
-Sue. Sue.

Yes, I know. I know. I know!

I thought this was one of the most
beautiful things we'd ever built.

Feels terrifying now.

It can be beautiful again.

Everything can.

They've been gone a while.

Johnny.

Go check. See if they're back.

I'm in no rush to do that.

Well, I'm definitely
not gonna check.

I'm definitely not going either.

Thank you for
going and checking.

You're welcome. It's
the least I could do

to say thank you for
going down to check first.

I'm definitely not going down.

-Chickenshits.
-Jesus.

Don't do that.

-I hate it when you do that.
-Don't do that.

Come on. Let's run
through the details.

I don't like when she does that.

It's like...

It's unsettling when people
just appear like that.

Bombproof. Shockproof.

Radiation-proof.

Franklin will go here
when Galactus arrives.

Hey, do we know what direction
Galactus will be coming from?

Well, it could be from anywhere.

But when he crosses those
lines, we trigger it.

We're in the very
center of the city.

We're surrounded by miles
of apartment buildings.

Any path he takes, he's
gonna be going through

thousands and
thousands of families.

I got an idea you'll hate.

Oh, my.

Very advanced.

So this must be where
the sausage is made.

I think I prefer just
trying to steal the sausage.

Please, don't touch.

Oh!

We'll fix that.

The...

Harvey.

Hello there, little robot man.

Could you dim the
lights for me, please?

Harvey, we wanted to
ask you something.

And whatever it is, I
would like him to ask me.

It's not... It's not
Reed or me asking.

It's the entire planet asking.

It wouldn't be the entire
planet now, would it?

Just the over part.

No, Mr. Elder.
We've met Galactus.

He'll eat the under part first.

Well, regardless, why
don't you butter me up?

Spread it on.

-Okay, Mole Man.
-Mole Man?

You touch another piece of my...

-Enough.
-Take the "mole" out of it.

-It's Mr. Elder to you.
-That is enough.

Give us a minute.
Just give us a minute.

Yes, that's it.

Johnny, don't be mad.
I didn't dress you.

Don't listen to him.
You're handsome.

Harvey.

I'm sorry, Sue. I'm...

End of days.

We all gotta learn how to laugh.

So what do you need?

Evacuation orders
are in effect

in the Greater New York area.

Please report to Subterranea.

Evacuation orders are in effect

in the Greater New York area.

Please report to Subterranea.

Welcome to Subterranea.

Hello there.

Welcome, sunshiners.

Thank you so much.

Yes, do me a favor and just
wipe your feet upon entry.

I'm kidding. It's all dirt.

Please, keep a move on.

Good evening. We, the
people of Earth, prepare

for what could be
our final moments.

The hours ahead may feel long,

but we must use them
to support each other.

And we must hope. We
must dare to hope.

Hey, Mrs. H.

-Let me help you with that.
-Oh, thank you, Ben.

We must use the time wisely

to be with the ones we cherish.

Keep hope, all right?

What?

Um, sorry, just... Hi.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Uh, you're looking
very distinguished.

I'm surprised to
see you here. I...

Did you come for
spiritual guidance?

Oh, no, no.

I just came to see you.

I leave you tonight
with these words.

"Never doubt that a small group"

of thoughtful,
committed citizens

can change the world.

Indeed, it's the only thing

"that ever has."

Positions.

Hmm.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Don't cry.

I'll be back in a
minute, little guy.

Just a couple more steps.

Come on, come on.

Clever little bugs.

He's going for Franklin.

Light him up, Johnny.

Ben!

Oh, my God.

What time is it, Ben?

No.

-What time is it, Ben?
-No, Johnny.

-Say it!
-I don't wanna.

Say it!

It's clobberin' time!

[H.E.R.B.I.E.

[H.E.R.B.I.E.

You are my salvation.

My deliverance from
this vicious hunger.

Time to feed.

Put down my son.

Sue. Sue, stop.

Sue, stop. It's too much.

-Get Franklin.
-Sue, stop!

Save our son.

Johnny, the controls.

Ah!

Hang on, Suze!

Johnny, now!

Reed! It worked.

No!

Tell Franklin Uncle
Johnny loves him.

Sue.

Sue.

No, no, no. No, no, no.

-I got him. I got him.
-Sue.

No. No. Sue. Sue.

-She breathing?
-No.

No. No, baby. No.

You stay with us. You
stay with us, okay?

Stay with me, Sue.

Stay with us, baby.
Stay with us, baby.

Come on, Sue.

Come on, Sue, stay with us.

Don't leave us.

Sue!

Come on, baby!

I'm sorry.

Hey.

He's not us. He's more.

Wow, folks.

We have so much exciting
ground to cover today.

In the last year,
a lot has happened.

We have seen it
with our own eyes,

but tonight, we're gonna
see it through theirs.

Our city, our country
and our planet...

No. And there's nothing
to be nervous about.

You know, you just
stick with me.

This thing will be
done before we know it.

...obvious to say, but it is
definitely worth talking about,

is the fact that the surfboard
is not part of the body.

Okay, so,

Ted wanted me to give you
something as a thank-you

-for doing this.
-Oh.

Interesting.

He would love it if
Franklin would wear it

for this in one minute.

-No, actually.
-No. Absolutely not.

No, I don't think we can.

Well, I will break the bad news.

-Thank you, Lynne.
-You're welcome.

Places, please.

-It's too early.
-Way too early.

It's too early for
that kind of stuff.

He can't even sit
up without help.

I did not have time to eat
breakfast this morning...

So if only I could
eat a magic baby.

Get his hair. Get
that hair, yeah.

No. Don't... Don't try me.

Who knows where his
powers will take him?

But right now, he's here.

What's that guy doing?

-Who's that right there?
-Hi, cutie.

Frankie.

You got him?

Explorers, heroes,
citizens or leaders.

They continue to change,

becoming whatever we need
them to be whenever we need.

-We're going in ten...
-Ladies and gentlemen,

just when you thought
we couldn't love, admire

or appreciate them
any more than we do...

...and they're now
25% more fantastic...

...Reed, Sue, Johnny,
Ben and Franklin,

the Fantastic Five!

Precious cargo. Coming through.

Is this...

-No, I've set that already.
-You've already set it?

Let's get this car seat in nice.

All right, just
make sure that it...

-Hold on, wait. Set the...
-Right, pull up.

I gotta set it in first
before you close it.

-Set it in before you...
-There.

It's gonna make that
noise until you thread

-the belt under the chair...
-All right.

...and then you get it
through the other side.

You gotta feed it through.

Yeah. I'm doing it.

-Well, I don't feel anything.
-I can't...

-You just hook it under the...
-It's through. It's through.

-All right, I got it.
-Through the buckle.

Let's move this along, fellas.

You gotta thread
it. You gotta...

That isn't gonna help.

You gotta thread it
through, connect it

-and then pull the slack.
-I've thread it through.

-It's threaded through.
-You didn't pull the slack.

Just push from above.
Push from above.

-No, you gotta...
-Pull the slack!

Okay, I'll get...

I've pulled the slack.
It's thread through.

-All right.
-I can't fit my hands in.

You from the left.
You from above.

Three, two, one.

-Oh! Yes! Yes!
-That's a good sound.

Okay, we're ready.

Oh. Mmm.

You want the other
book, don't you?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Back in a second, babe.

H.E.R.B.I.E., have you seen
the book that Franklin loves?

Not that one. We did
